No worries - it's commonly done! 

Think there's a place for seperate sections on I/O devices or
communications or something? I'm sure there are people with webpages
dedicated to modems or networking hardware/protocols, or who do strange

form natural categories of their own there along with
computers/calculators/software etc...
